At long last, I have my badass gaming laptop: an Asus ROG G703GX, loaded with plenty of RAM and a pretty, pretty RTX 2080.  For such a beautiful, powerful machine, there could only be one fitting name: the Enterprise-E.

That's a powerful machine right there. I suggest trying Red Dead Redemption 2. It looks beautiful on PC.

Trump has cultivated a massive cult of personality that controls enough information that it's actually able to make people question whether Trump committed an impeachable offense when he clearly did. 2020 is not in the bag. Far from it. The democrats don't have anyone exciting enough to beat Trump and the only way Trump could most certainly lose is if the economy crashes, but the right wing media will turn it around on the Democrats.

An Incel and Marc Lepine fanboy was arrested yesterday for threatening to kill femminists on his blog to celebrate "Saint Marc's day."

The dude was apparently 70 years old in case you thought incels were just angry  teens/20somethings.

Well, I mean, it's easier to look for the people likely to face harassment than it is to play whack-a-mole with the endless number of trolls who crop up.

Doesn't make it right, just easier.

Its also insanely patronizing and marginalizing.  They aren't protecting people, they're segregating them in the name of "protection."

Trump's got a damn good shot at beating anyone who's likely to take the Democratic nomination.

Easier to punish people who look funny than take care of bullying. Is there a term for weird "we just want to protect you" kind of passive-aggressive bullying?

I can't wait for Trump to be a one termer, impeachment or not, and just let this thread and shitshow mercifully tail off and wrap up.

Here's an idea, how about we suppress the content of the likely cyberbullies instead of the likely victims?

Because then they'd have to ban Donald Trump. (Disclaimer: I don't know if Donald Trump uses TikTok.)
